Foster homes shortchanged by budget cut in Kansas
Douglas County foster parents Madalon Vann and Ruby Adams, who run two of 35 county homes, say a 10 percent cut in state reimbursements will deepen financial shortfalls. The 1989 legislature had approved a 15 percent increase, with 5 percent already in effect, but SRS chief Winston Barton canceled the remaining 10 percent effective Jan 1. The move provokes protest from legislators and aids group leaders, including The Villages Inc. executive Gary Duncan, who warn the cut will reduce funds for foster children and may force staff reductions as budgets are adjusted.
